Time to build a ship with a gravity drive controlled by a dance pad.

[@BlackArmor718]

Nice!

[@g0anna]

@@BlackArmor718 Someone did it with a rotor, sensors and minimal ions. So he has a small “cage” of small blocks around a rotor, and a block on the rotor, then sets it so the block can “wobble” around in the “cage”. Sensors on different parts detect if the block “wobbles” forward or to the sides. Then just minimum ion engines in each direction. The ions slow it down enough to cause the block to move in a specific direction thanks to momentum or breaking momentum. The sensors pick it up and adjust the gravity drives or mass blocks appropriately. Then you go in that direction. So scriptless WASD gravity drive.

19:07 I was in a competition where you could not use a seat or turret. We had to fight each other with static weapons. This idea was my original plan but we did not have enough time to set it up.

[@PenolAkushari]

ah yes, using some parts for unintended stuff, like neon tubes as actual metal pipes, is quite the bread and butter of building sandbox games, like in GMod or Spore. truely nice to have some interesting eye candy through such ways. also the gyroscope stuff was quite impressive, think i should try making some tracking spotlights as well!

[@fakshen1973]

Great tips. I like how you went back and recapped your older tips with updated information. You should ALWAYS do that when you have something to add. Also, if you throw a link on the screen, it's a great way to get people to watch your previous videos. Here are my additions. 1. Lighting: default white (255,255,255) RGB can be a little harsh. Using a shade of grey can soften the light. To get grey, just enter a lower value for the RGB with equal values like (200,200,200) or (125,125,15), etc. Then adjust the intensity to taste. 2. Your DDR foot controls are a great idea. Where that would really shine would be for pure elevator platforms, especially those that transfer crew/equipment from landed spaceship to a planetary surface. The distance isn't always the same. 3. The half-width staircases are great. But have to be perfectly aligned with gravity. If they are slightly rotated left or right the avatar might get hung up on them and not able to climb or descend. If you put them on a spaceship meant to get into natural gravity or dock with something else using a gravity generator with a field that spills into your grid, you will have issues. 4. Corner lights are also great for connecting stairs or any other blocks where a 90 degree attachment is desired. They are also vanilla.

[@BlackArmor718]

Fantastic comment, I appreciate the feedback. Lighting values I didn't really touch on, I figured people would set what they like. What would you use to move the elevator platform that uses the foot controls? A piston? I tend to use the LCD because I like the build state better than the corner light

[@Anvilshock]

@@BlackArmor718 Jeez, what is it with YT and their trigger-happy censoring bots today?? Can't even string a few harmless words together without them immediately deleting the comment. Anyway, look up "RGB tungsten" and you'll find a whole list of codes for various light sources.

Your little swing arm at the very end with all the sensors, while I was playing on a playthrough here recently with nerfed jetpacks, I really wanted to build a "magic carpet" that was jetpack platform to get me up to build stuff. Basically used the exact same design you were showing there. It would be neat to see it actually built so there's an idea for some more content 😃

[@deejeh9494]

Nice. Could you make a video about ship/base systems and internals? How do you plan or design your builds? Do you work on the piping or the shell first?

[@BlackArmor718]

I am a shell builder always. If I have to make minor changes to fit some internals then so be it, but that doesn't happen often

[@FitSpire]

Haha, and here I thought I had changed my keybind for teleporting! "then you forget where they are" so you mean you don't just memorize exactly where every light is? Quick, where's light 42? Aw, too slow :). Great content as always! Oh that light panning is epic!

[@torrent9994]

I remove light groups from the toolbar config too. This can really clean up a control seat setup as well. Everything you wouldn’t add to a cockpit/control seat toolbar. Examples are cargo containers, lights, assemblers, refineries, and gyros. Mostly anything in a group, the individual items done need to be controlled. I also setup all my main controls in the remote control block and add the control shortcut to any seat blocks/cockpits I plan to use. This allows consistency in setups. It allows you to exit the remote to control odd things you don’t want constantly on your flight controls hot bar like projectors and things using rotors/pistons/hinges that can take up a whole toolbar.

[@rtwolfrt]

The new low cover wall works great as the platform for beside the half stairs, and looks more natural than the railing.

[@BlackArmor718]

I haven't had a need for the new dlc yet but when it comes time to buy Ill check that out

[@rtwolfrt]

@@BlackArmor718 I thought the same. But its worth it just for the 1/2 corridors. It's basically an L shaped block that is super usefull for plugging up holes. I've always wanted a walkway with another panel to the side instead of a 1/2height "rail" and the corridor is basically that.

[@tourstarproductions2150]

Those neon tubes as suspension is genius

[@honestgoat]

- When I group lights and aren't going to control them individually anymore, I also hide them in the toolbar config. That way they aren't cluttering up your toolbar config menu with a bunch of lights that don't need to be there.I do the same for everything that only gets controlled as a group. - For lights and other groups, I also Name the groups "Lights - Ceiling" " "Lights - Entrance" "Drill - Head" "Drill - Pistons" etc. Its just a neat way to name groups so you always know what your looking at and they are Alphabetically sorted.

[@2020Stryker]

Great stuff in this series! Thanks for sharing.

[@unfluffydave8798]

Awesome videos. Heres a thing I found with sensors: They cannot detect a subgrid of the grid they are attached to, you can take advantage of this "feature" when creating compact hangars or drone bays. Set up a sensor with an area that includes where your ship docks to the connector. When you lock your connector as far as the sensor is concerned the ship is no longer there. That way you can have automatic hangar doors close to the ship but still have them sensor controlled.

[@BlackArmor718]

That's clever. I'm pretty sure detecting subgrids is a toggle on sensors though

Something I've done to support stairs and give it the illusion of being supported is using railing parts. Specifically the angled railing. so, in your demonstration, you have the stairs off the wall, then below that you'd put a angle railing so that one end was at bottom of those stairs and the other against the wall. the next stairs will then connect

Something to do with grouping for things like lights. Instead of naming them "ceiling lights" and "floor lights" and "entrance lights", reverse the name order so its "lights - ceiling" and "light - floor" ect. This way the lights groups are all clustered together instead of spread out alphabetically. Makes for a more organized and usable control panel.

A hot tip about light management, or management of any kind in the K menu. Don't name things "ceiling lights" That gets messy fast. Instead make use of the alphabetical order "Lights - [room] - Ceiling". If you name everything like this your K menu will be incredibly easy to navigate and use.

I have been playing for a short amount of time and wanted to have a few tips. So glad I found your videos!

And I felt really clever with that (I have about 12h in my current survival run, have my first mining ship and scout ship - so I'm quite a beginner). But watching your setup was amazing!

Note on the PCU cost for LCDs. AFAIK a functional block will only consume it’s full PCU value if it’s completely constructed, so if you grind it below function to any frame it’ll act like a non-functional block and only consume 1 PCU.

Used the gyro sensors to build canons on my ship. They do an ok job, firing is done on player control though

[@Sjef0194517]

The sensor tracking works better if you let it command the rotor instead of a gyro. The gyro also adds alot of weight making it nose heavy. If you use the center of mass function in the info tab and balance everything so that it is directly into the hinge or the centerline of the rotor. It can be very quick (no centrifugale force to start or stop). It even can track small ships and engage it without scripts As long it is balanced Bit Bever thought it could be done with gyros looks alot smoother then using rotors

3:23 No. Don't put them in a group called "ceiling lights" because when you have "hangar lights" and "exterior lights", you have to look through your whole group list to find them.
